Metalhead REACTS to BTS for the first time -- Melon Music Awards (Full Performance) 

There’s actually a member missing because he just had surgery so they left a space for him in the choreo and no one took over his parts to show that he’s basically irreplaceable

Lol, it’s a little annoying how their most pop and colorful songs blow up in the US, while their hundreds of other songs are ignored by the media and radio stations. Although dynamite is one of my favorites, it doesn’t give the general public a look at what bts really is and what kind of music they create. I would say their discography is made up of hip hop, rnb, rap, pop, ballads, trap, and a little bit of rock.

I am a 56 year old Army, who got into BTS because of the diversity of their music and the intelligent lyrics. Do yourself a favor and watch some of their videos with closed captions on. I am a huge fan of the rap line.

It's like what Suga once said "You'll like BTS music if you listen without prejudice"

Honestly? I had never heard of BTS before my daughter started listening to them. I checked them out to make sure they were suitable for her to be listening to as she was only 10. To say I was surprised is an understatement. Not only did I fall in love with them myself (trust me, it's inevitable, just go with it), but I quickly realised that there isn't a single artist out there that I would rather her have as roll models than these 7 guys. Yes, on the surface they are amazing performers, but, when you look deeper, you will realise it's their messages of positivity, self love, acceptance, pushing for your goals despite what society expects of you, and many more, as well as their humble and down to earth personalities, that really makes me proud that these are the guys she looks up to. In the 2 years she has been an Army she has gone from a child that kept her likes and interests very much a secret from her peers (as she regularly, and still does, gets bullied for them) to one that is very unashamedly herself. Not only does she not care what others think of her anymore and is very confident in herself, but she stands up for what she believes in and refuses to let anyone feel alone. She attributes the change in herself to BTS, and I honestly couldn't be more proud. When I say you should be really happy that your daughters have these guys in their lives I really do mean it. It's also been amazing to connect with my daughter and have a common love for something, which I have to thank BTS for as well. I would highly recommend you checking out the video "THIS IS BTS - INTRODUCTION TO BTS PART 1" by XCeleste to just get a bit of an understanding as to where I'm coming from as it's much easier to see it for yourself. Their stories, their journeys and who they are as people are truly inspirational.

BTS are excellent role models for your daughters, as well as for older generations. I'm nearly 40 and their message is inspirational. Love yourself is the base for which they stand for, working hard is what they do. They always strive to be better, they are always kind and humble.

My teenage daughter has long been a fan of BTS. So I always hear her playing their songs. I’ve grown to like the songs enough to look for translations and understand. They really have very nice and empowering messages. Your daughters are in good hands 😊 By the way, I’m also now deep into this rabbit hole. But I’m not complaining. This has become one of the many things my daughter and I bond over.

I think bts is a good influence for kids nowadays, bts is a perfect example of hard work, persistence and genuine heart. They deliver positive message through their music and actions. I'm the one who introduce bts to my daughter 😁

You should hear some of their older stuff, very different to Dynamite. Mots7 is a great album and worth a listen to.

What's up fellow metalhead. 🤘 It's sweet that you did this for your daughters! You'd be surprised how many BTS fans are metalheads our age - no other pop music in our playlists, but there's something about BTS. Once you get into the storyline and performances, you easily lose that "boy band" feel. Don't be deceived by their more poppy tracks

Love to see a father trying to figure out what his daughter's are into . Bts official music video has English subtitle you can turn on them by clicking on cc . Their official channel is bighit entertainment

I believe I know the songs your daughters listen to and I can assure you it’s a pretty small part of bts’ discography which is known to be experimental and diverse (their base has always been hip-hop, but they mix many genres into their music). I personally think one of bts’ main strengths is that they appeal to different age groups (I’m currently attending university and I know a lot of fans who are older than me), for their discography is so various! There are songs like dynamite, funky and care-free, but most of their songs are actually much deeper, mature and lyrics oriented: they always put meanings and thoughts into their work and that really shines through. I would definitely recommend you check out their lyrics, they’re truly worth it!

Watch their NPR tiny desk concert!

Just for your reference, the song ON is about fighting and pushing through struggles and coming out on top and the song Life Goes On was written specifically about their experience with COVID and again, trying to push through and have hope. As someone mentioned below, one of the members is missing because he had surgery not too long ago and he's been at home recovering. The things the fans were carrying are called Army Bombs. They are the light sticks that connect via Bluetooth at concerts and change colors to make the audience look like an ocean of color! What kind of genres do you usually listen to? BTS has a very wide range of music styles!!! Let me know and I'll give you some recommendations! I'm really curious as to what songs they are listening to lol

You can watch the MVs of the songs performed here first. Don’t forget to turn on subtitles. The messages are very meaningful . You should be happy that your kids found them.

BTS Fire, Not Today, Mic Drop and On have different vibes with dynamite. Also they have rap song like Ugh, Cypher, Persona, Shadow

you’re such a sweet father for respecting your girls’ interests and actively seeking them out :) that’s top tier parenting haha. also, hi from a fellow metalhead! i actually currently play the guitar in an alt rock band, but when i was a few years younger, me and my uni friends had an amazing few years on the metal scene (my favorite crowd to perform to, ever). so naturally, most of what i listen to are the genres which i play, since i have to constantly be in shape :) but Bts somehow creeped up on me, lol. my friends find it hilarious when riding in my car we go from Cirith Ungol or some other obscure metal band to a Korean pop band, lol. but it’s fun. but you might not become as taken as i did with them, which is totally fine. i’m sure your daughters will appreciate your respect towards their interests, which is amazing in itself.

Him: I'm not really into BTS, just doing it as a favour for my girls. Also him - bopping his head non stop during ON perf😂 i'd say just seems like u need to hear the right songs for u. try Dionysus live performance, its upbeat with rock elements. and if ur impressed with their live performances try MMA 2019. i PROMISE u, u have never seen anything like it before.

Microphone with plastik ball....is ARMY BOMB,It's an official BTS lightstick.If your daughter is an ARMY,that will be the best Christmas present ever😉😁💜

I am a mom and I also like rock and metal bands ... I met bts through my daughter and now I am more obsessed with them than my own daughter ... BTS is not just a pop band because I have listened to various styles within of their music and they have all kinds of messages in their lyrics ... When you give them the opportunity you will realize it !!

BTS is a K-pop(Korean Pop) band made up of seven members, three rappers (RM, Suga, and J-hope) and four vocalists (Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, and V). They all write, compose, and produce for all of their albums and their most recent music video “Life goes on” was even directed by the youngest member, Jungkook). BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan which translates to Bulletproof Boy Scouts it also stands for Beyond the Scene. They are also known internationally as The Bangtan Boys. This name is incredibly meaningful because they said that it is their job to shield the youth of the world from the bullets that society rains down on them. They debuted in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment, which is now Big Hit Labels, in Seoul, South Korea. It was originally supposed to be a Hip-hop group but the CEO of Big Hit, "Hitman" Bang, later decided to debut them as an idol group. Every member has solo work separated from the group. You should definitely check out some of their solo work, it is incredible. They were told that they wouldn't amount to anything and that they were untalented their entire careers. All seven members used to live in a single bedroom apartment together and even know after the extreme success they have achieved they still live in a three-bedroom apartment together, called the Bangtan Dorm, even though most of them own their own apartments. They said that it just doesn't feel right not being together and that they feel lonely without each other. They are all bonded through their hardships and are just a large family since they were put together when they were teenagers. The oldest being 20 and the youngest 15 at the time of debut in 2013. They almost never talk about the normal recycled romantic love and breakup cycle. Throughout all their songs they preach self-love, self-acceptance, female empowerment, mental health, and they also speak out against social injustices and so much more. They believe that lyrics are one of the most important parts of music and they strive to connect with all of their fans through their music and lyrics. They even have a fictional storyline that goes through their music video called the Bangtan Universe aka the BU. Along with their storyline, every single one of their albums follows the phases of life that the band members are going through at the time. For example, their first album '2 Cool 4 Skool' and it was about school, school boy crushes, and the expectations of adults, at the time of this album they were all still in school and their most current album, “BE” is about the pandemic and how they are getting through it and giving hope that we will come out the other side of this better than we were before. They are also incredibly prolific. They have 9 studio albums, 3 single albums, 11 compilation albums, and 6 EPs. That includes two full Japanese albums. They just got nominated for their first Grammy and have dominated the Billboard charts with three number ones in the last few months. They even held the number 1 and 2 spot for a while. While they are huge, I think it is important to mention that they are also some of the most humble people that you will ever meet. Jin, the oldest member and a vocalist, released a song called Abyss, for his 28th birthday, talking about how they are people more talented than him so he doesn’t feel that he deserves all of the praise that he is getting and it was eating him up inside. Thank you for giving bts a chance and reacting with an open mind. P.S. Dynamite is in all English and it is their only all English single to date. That crazy upbeat peppy kind of song is a very small part of their discography.

If you ever want to know what they are singing about in Korean, doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com has all of their songs translated into English. BTS have such deep lyrics. Dynamite wasn't written or produced by BTS or anyone at their company. It was something that sort of fell into their laps and they decided to do it to lift people's spirits with everything that is happening in the world.

With BTS’ lyrics your kids are in good hands! Most of their songs have deeper meaning, talk often about self-love, confidence, socio-political issues, psychology, philosophy and mental health awareness. BTS actually have made my nieces and nephews (12-16) more interested in Carl Jung and self-analysis and psychology since BTS last few albums were inspired by Carl Jung’s theories on individuation. My favorite trilogy (3) album from them is the Love Yourself where the albums are connected by a theme of discovering self-love. BTS also created a Love Myself Campaign with UNICEF to protect children against violence and bullying. Part of the proceeds from these 3 albums goes to the campaign. They have sad songs but BTS have a hero’s journey theme usually where problems get resolved. lol Dynamite not my favorite style from BTS either, but it is just a fun song and it’s on my cardio workout playlist haha. Lucky us BTS does so many different genres and have over 200+ songs so there’s something for everyone. I mainly listen to BTS’ rap, hip hop, R&B, edm and rock tracks. Since you like metal I think you’ll like “Dionysus”, “Not Today”, “Fake Love”, “Mic Drop, “Interlude:Shadow”, “Fire”, “Outro:Tear”. Glad you’re giving BTS a try and hopefully it’ll help you bond even more with your daughters. 💜

For the meanings of the songs: Black Swan is about the fear of losing your passion for what you love to do. For BTS, that's music. Black Swan is a masterpiece 😍 You'd be surprised to see how psychological many of BTS' concepts are. ON is basically a song to say "bring the pain on". It's a declaration that they won't stop working hard, they're ready for the hardships, bring it on, this is what they want to do. Life Goes On is the lead single from their newest album that talks about their feelings during the pandemic. The song's message is clear from the title - it's purpose is to heal everyone during these impossibly difficult times. Dynamite is the first and only English single they have. They didn't write the song themselves, which is actually really rare for them. It wasn't planned really (they were supposed to be on tour), but they heard it and wanted to release it to spread joy and happiness to fans during this covid situation.

You remind me of me 3 years ago i am metal/ rock fan of 52 it took me some time to undetstand the deep of Bts now days 80% of my playlist is bts 💜

I'm 20y but my dad keeps hearing me talks about bts every day... A good dad

😂the fact that the last band i really liked was linkinpark. And now i'm obsessed with BTS and i'm proud. Check out the song blackswan.

You're so lucky that your daughters listening to BTS!! I love BTS but my sons(18 and 14 y.o.) don't understand me 😢 I enjoyed your reaction! Your new subscriber from Seoul 💜

Your kids are in good hand listening to BTS as compared to other western artists teaching them (in song lyrics or actions) to take drugs, suicidal thoughts, bragging who they have slept with etc.

One of the members was missing for this performance. Yoongi aka Suga is in rehabilitation after he had a shoulder surgery.

So, all music videos on the official BigHit channel (BitHit is their label and the YT is Big Hit Labels. They also have a personal channel called BangtanTV) have english subtitles available. Unfortunately award shows and live performances rarely do. If you want a good reliable place for accurate subtitles I would suggest Doolset Bangtan (doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com). She has lyric translations for BTS and all their solo work and she also includes explanations for any cultural references or wordplay that get's lost in translation. I'm not sure how deep your daughters interest in BTS goes (if they just enjoy the songs/music videos/dances, or if they go deep into the lyrics and universe that BTS has created) but either way, there are no better role models for your kids than BTS. I am not going to type out an essay on BTS, partly because some ARMY's may be doing that as I speak and I don't want to be redundant, but also because I'm a big believer in experience the full journey for yourself if you want. This may sound hyperbolic but discovering BTS has been nothing short of life changing for me personally, but it's also valid if your interest is purely to see what your daughters are listening to. If you are interested in their story I would recommend The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS from The Asian Theory, or This Is BTS Part 1 by xCeleste. I also would recommend watching both speeches they've given at the United Nations (one was back in 2018 and the other just a few months ago and are both on RU-vid) and their Class of 2020 commencement speech. They are great speakers who are offering a lot of wisdom and comfort to the world.

I'm a 39 old woman who is a meatlhead and I adore them. They are very special. The lyrics, music, their message.

Yes have that talk! Dynamite is very polarizing. BTS’ music palette is large, not because they don’t have focus but because there are 7 members with different styles who contribute to their production (yes, they do write and produce) and because their music style evolved as they grew older.

Oh and the ‘microphone with a plasma ball’ is called and army bomb (army is there fandom) it’s basically a light stick (many Korean groups have them) and it lights up, it connects to some of there music videos and usually there concerts via Bluetooth and in concert the staff controls everyone’s army bombs and it syncs with the lights of the show

I like BTS, love you dad

The mic-y lights the fans (ARMYs) are holding are BTS's official lightsticks (ARMY Bombs).They're usually used at live events and concerts to cheer them on (kind of like a futuristic version of a lighter lol) and they can even be connected via bluetooth to all be in sync so the lights can all change to the same colours and go with the beat of the performance. BTS are known to try a lot of different genres so you could like a lot of their songs even if they're not the same your daughters may love lol The songs they performed here were all from this year: Black Swan (although that was the orchestral version, the actual song on the Map Of The Soul: 7 album is different, you should check it out), ON (from Black Swan0s same album), Life Goes On (their most recent single, the album, BE, only came out a few weeks ago) and Dynamite. If you'd like to listen to their songs with lyrics, you can watch their official music videos for their singles (on the channel Big Hit Labels) and turn on CCs, or read fan translations on a site I'll leave in the comment down here (they're brilliantly detailed whenever something gets lost in translation and they're much better translated than "lyric videos" we find on RU-vid tbh). Ps: a member was actually missing cause he had a surgery in November so he hasn't been able to participate in recent performances. You can see they had some empty spaces during some parts of their choreographies and they didn't sing his parts live.

I am an older rock fan, Rush, Metallica, Dream Theater, etc. And now I also am a new, older BTS fan. I totally agree that if you can't sing and dance a live performance than you shouldn't be out there. These guys, also write and produce their songs, creating sings that are meaningful and inspirational when you learn what's behind them. Listen to their older songs, read their lyrics, they are truly amazing.

Dynamite was a big hit as it was the groups first whole song in english so it has been overplayed alot so I get the repetitive part, musically they are the most versatile group out thier so check out thier other music too and especially the lyrics

The dance break was a homage to Michael Jacksson, also in the Mv

You should watch their Melon Music Awards 2019 performance as well. It's just as mind blowing as this one! 😊

If you think this is great, wait till you see BTS MMA 2019 half hour long awards performance. I think the finale song Dionysus is up to your alley.

Thank you for giving them a chance 💜💜, I’m a 35 years old army 👏🏻👏🏻

I used to listen heavy metal and rock and I thought idol music so called k-pop was not music. However, BTS changed my whole listener’s career . I’m glad that I found them. They are amazing performers, wonderful musicians and such humble humans. You can watch their music videos with captions on Big Hit Labels site. I hope you find them like I did. By the way, you are a nice dad.

I'm 39 yo, and my kids listen to BTS as their inspiration and BTS really give good influence, such as how to respect older, like to do charity, etc. And a lot of their lyrics (check out the translation) is about motivation and message such as love youself, dreams, mental health, empowerment.

And also react to Black Swan and ON Kinetic Manifesto Come Prima music videos with English subtitles to understand the songs! 💜

If you like that you should definitely watch their mma 2018 and 2019 performances. To be perfectly honest all their mma performances are worthy of watching

Please react to more bts and you will understand why your kids loves them so much. Love your reaction

Best dad! I'm 30 and I discovered this guys 4 months, have fallen through the rabbit hole ever since and got my 60 year old mom to like them too 😂

I'm not going to go into a lot of depth since others have but I'd say it's a GOOD thing your daughters like k-pop when compared to what is considered music in America. These groups won't be singing about sex, drugs, violence etc. that's too common in western music and BTS are known for having a real meaning behind their music. Just a few examples: Jin's Epiphany: he talks about the importance of loving yourself first before anything else. Even if you think you're not perfect you're just the way you meant to be. Answer: Love Myself is along the same line as Epiphany that everything you've gone through - both good and bad makes up the person you are today and who you will become tomorrow. You shouldn't be ashamed of past mistakes because they're something that makes us unique and it's okay not to be perfect. Idol: is an ode to self love and about not letting the words of anything else bring you down because, "You can't stop me loving myself!". Finally from their latest album Be there's Blue and Gray: it's a heartfelt song where the boys are talking about how they too have felt depressed and stressed because of covid with the world changing in an instant. One of the members had intended this to be for his personal mixtape and he wrote it around the time he was suffering a pretty major burnout. There's so much more but I think these songs give a good example of WHY they're so popular once you take into account the lyrics anyone can relate with.

Great Dad! I have a 9 yo son, and i'm a BTS Army 😁💜

Metalhead & Army here ✌️

Try listening to BTS - Mic Drop (Steve Aoki remix) as your second reaction 😊

I think....you'd love Suga's music. He's a member of BTS.

Yess dynamite is everywhere lol but it was a totally different style for them but it worked😁

Please react to BTS Micdrop, Tear, No more dream, Fake Love, Persona, Shadow, Ugh! Ddaeng, Cypher 1,2,3,4, No and Not Today. Thanks

I'm glad you checked them. There's a lot more to BTS than meets the eye. That's especially true because the music industry and media try their hardest to put BTS into a box because they're a wild card no one expected and they didn't have a hand in their rise to the top. I'm sure you'll find tons of songs that you'll enjoy because they really are genre-bending. They don't stick to one thing. In fact the poppy sound of Dynamite is quite rare for them. However, that's the only song of theirs that gets radio play in the US since it is in English, so people end up getting a skewed perception of them. I think you'll be really impressed if you look into their lyricism because they really have such beautiful, philosophical, vulnerable and intelligent lyrics. The guys are wise beyond their years and there's a sincerity about them that really has won over millions. It's refreshing to see people who really are all about the music and giving what the world needs. They are very vocal about societal issues in their music. They are all about personal growth. You could say their entire discography is a journey of self-discovery, and in seeing them find themselves, you find yourself too. Their music is very layered, to the point where many of them have separate explanation videos because they have that much depth. Their songs manage to be both personal and universal at once. It's a balance that not many are able to execute. You could say their lyrics really won my literature-major heart. They really make me want to root for them because they work so hard and have had to prove themselves a million times over to get the recognition that their peers who have industry support get. You can always count on BTS to maintain their integrity. I'd say your daughters have found some brilliant role models, especially if they were to look into more of their music. But I understand, kids tend to like catchy things and Dynamite certainly is a earworm hehe.. Dynamite is not the kind of song that would typically be my taste, but there's something about BTS deciding to put it out when they themselves were struggling with the way all their plans for this year went down the drain. They said that this song made them feel joy again and they wanted to help us feel it too, so in that sense, it is meaningful to me. I think you will enjoy songs like Fake Love. Black Swan and Louder Than Bombs and Blue and Grey. You can check out their MVs with captions on their channel BangtanTV. You can find translated lyrics for all korean songs including their B-sides and mixtapes if you google doolsetbangtan. She explains the lyrics with all the intricate wordplay and cultural context as well. It elevates the music experience x100 when you know how genius the lyrics are. This really became an essay. Sorry about that hehe.. Just happy to see someone realise that BTS are immensely talented. :D Hope to see you dive a little deeper. Also it's sweet of you to check them out for your daughters despite your misgivings.

This moment entertained me a lot during ON: 🎵🎶Taking ooooveeeer~ "I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying it" 🎵🎶You should've knoooown~

Important thing : the meaning of their songs.My most favorite song Spring Day

1/4 of the BTS fans are 40 and above. Until I discovered BTS, I hadn't been that into music since Steely Dan and The Who. But they do the same kind of story-telling that really appeals to me. With very few romantic songs. Their lyrics are inspirational.

That little dance break In the middle of the song Dynamite is actually a little tribute to Michael Jackson.

Thank you for reacting to them, and thank you for supporting your daughters and their love for BTS! BTS are greatly known for their deep, meaningful lyrics. Their lyrics have made things better for a lot of fans. I suggest turning on the CC captions to songs like Life Goes On. Also, if you'd like an intro to BTS, I highly suggest the video by The Asian Theory called "The Most Beautiful Life Goes On". It's a good intro to who the members are, and what the group is about :)

I’m a metal mom. I took my 9 year old to see Korn, Skipknot is next. That being said, we are a KPop home. My 12, 10, 9 and 6 year old girls and I are huge BTS fans. I took my 12 year old to see them in NJ in 2019, we had tickets for the DC show in 2020 but Covid came. They are absolutely amazing live. It truly is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. But for a decent mix try Black Swan, Idol, and Mic Drop the Steve Aoki remix. A good variety of their different genres they do.

Nothing but a thumps up for a father trying to figure out the children’s music they listen to😍💜💜💜💜💪🏼

Great reaction...I am a 60 year old rap fan (and jazz)...but BTS just never fails to take top billing on all my lists.Welcome to the rabbit hole!

*****If you like Metal, you mightike Dionysis. It is amazing. You could watch MMA 2019. It is amazing!!*****

Life Goes On is their song they composed for these trying and challenging times of 2020. The Album BE was made to give comfort and hope for the fans.

I struggled to like Dynamite at the beginning because it's super poppy. It took a while, but we're friends now lol. I like their edgier stuff like ON KINETIC MANIFESTO, MICDROP, BLACK SWAN, BULLETPROOF PT2... Oh Lord, I'll be here all day listing stuff. I'm sure there are heaps of suggestions below. I'm 51 years old and I'm inspired by them. They are amazing singers, rappers and dancers, lyricists, composers, producers, musicians (and now director thanks to Jungkook directing the music video LIFE GOES ON). They're also incredible story tellers.

The way you told that story about your girls, that was very relatable. 😂 If you are introduced to BTS post-2017, you'll have a very different impression of them and their work than you did having listened to 2 recent songs. Their album _Wings_ is like BTS' own _Revolver_ in my opinion. They really tried pushing the envelope and took artistic risks. Since they write, compose, or produce most of their songs, _Wings_ will be a great way for you to get to know the band. 💜

Hi, i liked your reaction and that you did it open minded (with bleeding ears from to much of BTS from you daughters 😁). I am also an older generation and hear all kinds of music and BTS has some surprising good songs, that your daughters maybe not hear that often, but you will like it even more 😉 Or not, that is also ok, but i think, you can find a lot of stuff, that will fascinate you 😊

The thing about bts is that they have so many different styles so there are so many different sectors of fans with different music tastes that kind of all converge. For example, I'm a hip hop fan so my music taste caters towards records like UGH!, Tear, their cypher series, Baepssae etc. They also do rock, rnb, pop, edm, and more. Dynamite is one of their most poppy/formulaic songs (for example, the fact that it is in english and is their only song in english) so I can see why you were turned off at first :'D

I am a mother of two and I was the one who introduced my children to BTS. They are amazing artist who really do it all - sing, rap, dance, compose, write, produce etc. They do all sorts of genre and do not like to limit themselves to a specific genre. You've gotten a snippet of it in this performance but you have not even scratched the surface. Their discography is insane and so eclectic. That is why their fan base is so diverse - there is something for everyone. The most amazing thing about them is that their lyrics are so deep and meaningful and very relatable, and they are all-round really good and humble people, even with all the success. As a parent, I am happy my kids are listening to them rather than songs that has not a lot of meaning. They are really good role models too - incredible work ethic and so down-to-earth and appreciative of their fans. Their fan base is as diverse as their music - various age groups, different race and nationality. I am a 44-year old mum from Malaysia, and I am proud to be an ARMY, though a mature one. You need to react to Crash Course to BTS which gives you a brief look at their albums and discography, and then to know what kind of artist they are react to This IS BTS by XCeleste. These two videos would give you some insights into their music and who they are, and you will probably come to understand why they are a global phenomenon and very well-loved.

I'd recommend Save Me as it's my personal fav. The song itself is fantastic and the one-take music video is impressive.

You’ll fit right in with BTS’ fanbase, called ARMY. Your daughters are on the young end of the spectrum. Most of the fanbase is between 30-50 years old. 30+% are male. If your daughters take BTS’ lyrics to heart, then they’ll have a great support on their side as they grow up. Though with a father taking such an active interest in their interests, it sounds like they’ve got all the love and support they could ever want.

I loved your reaction😊 You can react to “Who is BTS? The seven members of Bangtan” in this video described each member. Like who is the rapper, who is vocalist and everything. Very useful video to learn about them more. Actually people are reacting to this video after listening to 3-4 songs of them.

Oh By the way! Go to their official YT channel and watch their music videos, they have the official translation of all their singles! 🤟🏼

Please react to “MMA 2019” this is crazy. I was shocked🤯

Plz react to "The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: Story of BTS" to know who they are and you will be sure that your daughters are watching absolutely disciplined, decent people who inspire or motivate to be a better person in life. From a 28yo Army here. 💜

I would like to recommend 2020 BTS MAMA performance!! Don't miss out!!

I'm in my 50's and had been a fan of BTS since their Love Yourself era but only became a hardcore Army this year (due to the pandemic). None of my kids are into Kpop, but they listen when I listen. My husband rolls his eyes whenever Dynamite comes on bc I've been looping the BE album. Once you listen with the song lyrics (closed captions) and watch some of the behind the scenes videos (on BangtanTV channel), you will understand why so many ppl in the world fell in love with BTS. The members are genuine. Their characters, personalities, values, and work ethics have not changed in the last 7 yrs. Their lyrics are deep and address current societal issues. You might also like Fake Love, Dope, Fire, Save Me, Spring Day, Blood, Sweat, and Tears, Black Swan, to name a few (there are so much more). These songs, in my opinion, are better representatives of BTS than Dynamite.

As a fellow metalhead (in their 30s!) I highly recommend looking into their back catalogue. They have 200+ songs across a huge amount of genres, and having been to over a hundred concerts i can say they're one of the best live performers in the world. Would highly recommend watching 'This Is BTS introduction part 1' by xceleste, it will fill in a lot of information about why they are so loved (there is much more to BTS than anybody sees at first look!) and 'the most beautiful moment in life goes on' by Asian Theory to learn more about the guys and where they came from. I really hope you keep doing reactions, loved the video and have subscribed :)

Thank you so much for your kind words to BTS

We can talk for months about bts. You must search by yourself . I am 50 years old and love them. My kids 17 and 29 love them too.

As a 42 year old mom, your daughters picked a great group of men to be fans of. They promote anti-violence, they speak on acceptance, loving yourself, exploring your doubts and being a better person. It's easy for an outsider to get caught up thinking we are all fans because they are handsome but for most of us that is the cherry on top. Their message, personalities, passion for hard work, talent, and humility make them very easy to love.

"I'm doing this for my daughters" ahw this is SO cute!!! i really hope you enjoyed it cus army is very loving when it comes to engagement ;)💜

The 7 member Suga is not on here, he had to operate his shoulder he is one off the 3 rappers

Just a honest reaction, I love BTS and you have to be proud that your daughters love them too, BTS it’s a great group for adolescents, they help a lot with sentimental problems 💜 believe me

What a cool dad! I know your daughters will be thrilled with your new appreciation so be sure and ask them a lot of questions. There's nothing Army likes more than talking about their boys.

I am 51 and I love BTS. I discovered them on the Grammy singing with Lil Nas and I said, I gotta check these guy's out. Since then I've become a member of Army and in July I got a Love Yourself tattoo. One of the flowers but my own design. At first I was embarrassed to say I liked them cause I'm a classic rock girl but NOW I COULD CARE LESS. They have opened my eyes and ears to a whole new world of music. How do you think I found you, by watching BTS videos. Just say ALEXA, SHUFFLE SONGS BY BTS and get to know them. The new album is great. BE. Map of the Soul has songs from each member too, not just the band. My favorite song is Black Swan but once you really become a fan you will love all their songs. Its funny, when they debuted they were GANGSTA. Lol. And look at them now. Taking over. They get better and better. I hate them being called a boy band cause they are so much more. Talented AF in my opinion each and every one. Suga was supposed to be a producer for them and BIG HIT basically talked him into being a member. He has written like 100 songs for South Korean artists along with RM. I am so glad I actually watched the grammys this year

Your daughters have great taste! My daughter and I love BTS. Their messages and lyrics are beautiful too!

I hope the comments and requests don't overwhelm u. ARMY can b very enthusiastic about supporting people who's exploring bts content. we're very concerned about guiding people to the right content that can help them understand bts more. we mean well, really, and I hope u do this when u enjoy it!!

You should check out BTS's Tiny Home Concert and Jimmy Fallon's BTS week. All really great performances.

Thank you for listening to BTS with an open mind, even it was for the sake of your daughters. You can trust their taste in music and the message it delivers. If you are really interested in finding out things about BTS, I highly recommend the documentaries From Nobodies to Legends, part 1 and 2, by Xceleste, well documented and presenting the evolution of this group. I have read a lot of the comments and I am surprised that nobody recommended them. By the way, I am a 65 yrs retired professor from Romania.

I totally feel you with all of this! I liked Dynamite but I'm tired of it too. I don't listen to much heavy metal but I am a rocker gone kpop! If you choose to look into BTS more, I would recommend songs like Fake Love, War of Hormone, Boy In Luv, and Danger!

I totally agree..most American awards performers lipsynching..i love your reaction..very honest..most of their songs have english sub..their lyrics will blow you out..

for more information bts have variety of song: metal ver, sad, funky, emotional, hyper , beat song etc .and all that song have its own meaning and have a lot of messages.

When I first got into BTS 3 years ago I thought I realized the brilliance of how K Pop groups manage singing within such busy choreos and the trick is that usually each part is short so the singer just has to manage to keep their voice stead for 5 seconds or more....until J-Kook that comes in and did the killer center part in ON and held that for quite a bit a longer as he does ALOT during his performances...and the boys of course have their solo's where they dont have the help vocally of other members. The stamina is unmatched in American perfrmances.

PLZ "The most beautiful life goes on"...it's a good documentary💜

You should really check out a cover a metal band did of one of their songs it really works. I think it was of fake love

The scene where they showed the BTS fans called ARMY holding their ARMY bombs (concert lite-sticks) BTS always showcase their fans. It’s BTS way of saying thank you. Some fans were saying “Borahae” means “I purple you”. A term that means “I love you”. Other fans were saying “I purple you”. BTS Army will add Purple Hearts in comments. That’s what it means. BTW - I’m a 65 yo grandmother who was introduced by my granddaughter in 2014 to BTS - It wasn’t until I bought her the 2014 BTS Memories DVD in 2015 - that I began to follow Bangtan Sonyeondan (Bulletproof Boy Scouts) also known as BTS. I felt like a found treasure. Their discography is amazing - their message is to help people love themselves and give hope and happiness. Make the world a better place. Work hard and perseverance.

I'm 50 and my natl anthem is Sweet Child of mine. I love BTS older album. You can start with Dark and Wild. 🤘😎💜
